| Title |
A preacher at the fair in Enniskillen. |
| |
| Description |
Enniskillen was a great fair, great crowds and then there was an old boy, Eddie Cooney. He was a religious, his followers are still there, they used to call them "Cooneyites" long ago but now I dunno. He really founded that religion and he used to come onto the Gaol Square, a big wild lookin' man with a flowin' white beard and he would romp about and preach y’know and try, of course we were runnin' here and there after the cattle and hadn't time to listen to him. Well he was one of the landmarks of the Gaol Square that time. When you’d go in Eddie would be preachin' and tryin' to get us all to mend our ways, poor man.
